HELP*little White dots/squares aka Artifacts

[Ennosigaios]

I have those artifacts as well, but only in the rearview mirror. Nowhere else as far as I can tell.

My system:
P7P55D PRO, i7 860, 2x 2GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600, HD5870, SB X-fi, Win7 64, TM HOTAS Warthog, CH Pro Pedals, TrackIR 5 + TrackClip Pro
Everything on stock clocks...

BTW. AA doesn't seem to work at all, no matter what settings I try in game or in Catalyst

This is interesting. I can confirm it's at least not a heat problem. All I can do is tell you my situation at that time.

Ati HD5970. Core clock/mem not ramping up for CoD.

There was a thread about using ATI tools to lock the clock/mem. As the standard CCC didn't offer this option for me. I did this, but found it utterly unstable, lock-up, freeze.. had to reboot.

I did get into the game at some point, and soon as I got in the cock-pit I had the small white dot artefacts as described.

I don't know why. The card was forced at stock speeds.

Anyway, a friend told me to check that Flash Player doesn't have "enable hardware accelaration", this in itself for some reason with CoD forced a lower clock speed.

I unchecked this, and disabled the ATI tool option of force clock, and now my clock/mem is as it should be in a 3D app, and no artefacts.

what flash payer are you refering too?

and from what i can tell i only hear of ATI cards having these Artifacts..

ive tried clocking/unclocking..forcing DX9 ingame, nothing seems to work..its Pi$$ing me off tbh

*UPDATE*

Ok so ive uninstalled everything to do with ATI on my system through registry and driver cleaner and ive installed an older Catalyst driver from Dec2010

now the strange thing is i now have no water but just a green mess which i didnt have before BUT the artifacts have now gone, i do see water clearly in my rear mirror though..

I thought id sorted it but on installing 3DMark11 again and running it i still have the artifacts on that program *shake the head is confusion*

I can bet if i update my GFX drivers now il have water back and the artifacts will return..

il keep you posted

[Ze-Jamz]

New drivers installed (new catalyst) and i still dont have artifacts which is a good thing..having no water though isnt

[scissorss]

Just wanted to say I am running a system very similar to yours and am not experiencing any of these problems, so it may be something locally.

AMD Phenom II x4
HD5770
4GB DDR3

returned card to be tested..came up as faulty

strange considering every other title i play i dont have or have seen any problems but this game and 3dmark11 highlighted a fault with the card..

i have a loan card HD5700 and have no issues..

problem solved
